My baby is the size of a sesame seed

Today I am 5 weeks pregnant, I've only known for 1 week that I am pregnant & I am totally & utterly over the moon! I have been longing & praying for this for a loooong time! Now I just can't wait to start showing so I look & feel pregnant! Though I'm sure that will all happen soon enough.

I read today that my baby is still considered to be an embryo for another few weeks, & is still just a little cluster of cells about the size of a sesame seed. Why am I so bloated then?! I can barely do up the zip on my uniform trousers for work!

This is all so exciting. I love you so much already little baby XXX

Welcome to the world of pregnancy sweetie!! :)

I have been bloated since the day i found out at 4 weeks, the day of my missed period! Since then, i've been bloated and look 6 months pregnant... I'm only 11 weeks! :)

Enjoy every moment, but make sure you rest, as you're gonna need it xx

Congratulation:) I was very bloated at the beginning of pregnancy, I think it was due to the amazing changes taking place :) xxx

Even now when I look at my baby girl, I truly can't believe how lucky I am to have grown her inside me!

They really are little miracles! X
